- Reimbursement: how the product or service will be paid for at scale
- A team with clinical, regulatory and commercial experience
Matching the investor to the stage
Services businesses with revenue often fit private equity. Early medical device and digital health companies often start with angels and specialist seed funds. Biotech and pharma usually need specialist venture funds that understand long development timelines and clinical trials.
Frequently asked questions
